Bluetooth not connecting

SInce the 8.02 update my Bluetooth no longer works in my van. It connects and disconnects intermittently. As a handicap person I find it not only frustrating but dangerous. My call will not always connect and hangs up in mid conversation. That is when it connects. My 5s is only 2 months old. I've never seen apple drop the ball so badly with an update that made things much worse instead of better. I've owned several thousand dollies worth of Apple products over 26yrs including buying several iMacs for my classroom through grants. However I'm disappointed that the update has made things much worse. Apple please fix it so I can continue to recommend your typically superior product to others.

Hi Onemoreradar,
That's not good! I know how important your Bluetooth feature can be. Let's get this fixed. When did this issue start? What software version/build number is your device on? Settings>about phone>software or build number. Have you tried powering the device off>on, then attempting the connection? Keep me posted
Thanks,

Bother...IOS 8.1 but BlueTooth not connecting

Oh dear, I've just updated my iphone 5c with IOS 8.1 and it cannot connect via Bluetooth to my MacBook pro running Yosemite. Sigh. I updated my ipad air with 8.1 and it pairs with the MacBook pro. Apart from the ipad not having a sim card the setting on both seem the same. I tried the reset network on the iphone but no luck. Any ideas what to do, or do I have to wait for an 8.xxx update.

Ok I got a good response. I was trying to connect iPhone to iMac with bluetooth as I thought this is how the iMessage linking to iPhone worked. It seems that iPhone will not connect to iMac as it was not designed to do so. (?!). The iMessaging must work through WIFI and my problem was my apple ID was an email address that I also included in the iMessage preferences as additional emails. Removing this 'duplication' solved my problem. No doubt other bluetooth connection problems exist in connection to external BT devices (though I've not had a problem yet), but pairing with an iPhone to and iMac appears to be a no no as I'm informed that even if it did, what the heck would the connection be doing that is not done by another means.

IPhone 4s bluetooth not connecting to macbook pro

My iPhone 4s bluetooth is not connecting to macbook pro. My 3Gs has always worked perfectly fine. Is there a problem with the 4s hardware or iOS 5? Anyone have any ideas?

I'm trying to connect using Bluetooth to use my iPhone as a remote for keynote while on the go (no network to connect to.) maybe it can't be done with the new iPhones but it seems like we should be able to. Thanks for the snarky and super helpful answer though.

Bluetooth not connected

Hi
I have never been successful in getting Bluetooth to connect to any other devices.
I have an iPad2 with latest OS (and iPhone 3 & 4). Turn on Bluetooth on each device and it does find each other but when I ask to pair it comes up confirm code is same on each ... Yes, ok ... But then says 'not connected'.
Don't understand that or why I cannot see other friends devices running Bluetooth as well.
Searched groups but all talk is on connecting to iMacs or other macs.
Anyone help with this one?
Thanks
Andy

"Initially a friend wanted to send me a photo from his Nokia via Bluetooth but I couldn't even see his phone."
not a feature of iphone.
"So why does my iPad and i4 see each other and ask the code question if they have no intention of talking to each other?"
They do not pair, unless it is from within an app or for internet thethering where provided by the carrier.

My Bluetooth is not connecting.

You haven't really provided enough information to help you. What have you tried and what was the result. Did you change something recently? New device or old?

8520 Bluetooth not connecting to a paired device

Help, I have paired my bury cradle to the 8520 but it will not connect!! its keeps failing, anyone else had this issue?

Windows network names should be short, have no spaces and be pure alphanumeric.
Does your airport have a wireless name like,
Fred Blog's Airport Extreme wireless.
It is 1. Too Long.. make it short. 2. Spaces, get rid of them, 3. Illegal apostrophe.
Try AEwifi for eg
And AEgenx for base station name.
Still have issues, try giving a different wireless name to each band, eg AE24ghz and AE5ghz and lock the wireless channel at least for the 2.4ghz.
Test with no security and then use WPA2 Personal with password of 8-20 characters, pure alphanumeric mix of upper, lower case and numbers.
Still got troubles.. some info would help.
What device.. what windows.. what airport.. to start with.

IPad Bluetooth Not connecting to MB

I can't connect my iPad to my MB via bluetooth. The MB finds the iPad and displays the code onscreen and the iPad also displays the correct code on screen. After I click accept it attempts to pair the devices then 'Could not pair with MacBook Pro'
The iPad isn't displaying any of my bluetooth phones computer or keyboard and they are all apple products.
I did a complete restore and it is still doing the same thing.
Help....

You can use iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard for wireless typing, or Bluetooth headphones for wireless listening. That's all. No bluetooth file transfers or anything else.
See page 22 of the iPad User Guide.

Blackberry 9300 bluetooth not connected to vaio E series bluetooth

My blackberry curve 9300 bluetooth device not get connected to vaio E series with windows 7 (64 bit). Kindly help me how can i connect my blackberry to my laptop.

Ah I see.
Thanks for the reply..
Then I guess the problem is not the "Connected" part but the fact that I get this message..."The Device doesn't have the necessary services" after I select the file to be sent to my bluetooth device. I had thought that because there wasn't a green light connection that they weren't talking to each other. There must be some setting in my phone I need to activate or something?

Bluetooth not connecting to anything to include MAC

New car no conectivity, 2011 ACURA MDX running the same Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR tech. Tried to connect to an actual MAC at a MAC store, same thing as they could not get it to connect. Cannot connect to a WINDOWS PC running Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR tech and last but not least, was told by ATT Friday OCT 29 that APPLE will not let me use bluetooth except for a specific ear piece that they could not get to connect at the store. Called Apple support, said they world call back because they wanted to reset phone and trouble shoot, no call back even after I called back again......... So is it the phone, ACURA says yes, the MAC store said that it is the phone and Windows said the same thing. So is there a fix? If not, may have to go with waht everyone else has recomended another phone....

Alan
Thanks for the link been there no help since the phone should connect but doesn't. So te only indicator is that the phone is bad but based on the other discussions, more than myself are having issues with bluetooth connectivity issues and we are looking for support which we are not getting from Apple or ATT

MacBook Pro to Samsung sound bar Bluetooth not connecting

Hello all,
I recently purchased a Samsung sound bar with bluetooth connectivity. I can connect my iPhone 5s to it and stream music with no problem. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro, it simply connects and promptly disconnects. I have tried shut down, restart, and even unplugging the battery on the MacBook with no luck.
I am running OSX 10.9.3 with all available updates.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Jerry

Same here I'm using a Samsung HW-H550 Sound Bar - Connect's with iPhone/iPad on IOS 7.1.1 on my Mac Book Pro Retina OS X 10.9.3. Having no joy even went down the root of deleting the Bluetooth Pref file didn't work either.
Looking forward to any workable solution

Neither the Trackpad or the Keyboard are paired with anything else and the light is flashing on both meaning they are in discovery mode
